Cui Jishu looked at the thousand answer sheets piled up on the table, as if he had returned to the time when he presided over exams with Gao Cheng in various places.

At that time, there was a shortage of people around Xiao Gaowang, especially scribes, so he was locked up with Yang Yu and Chen Yuankang, and let the three of them turn the book and write questions, prohibiting contact with people, and the three of them were also responsible for marking the papers at the beginning after the exam.

Today's Qingzhou Thorn Shi Zhao Yanshen was just a senior scribe at that time.

The old qualifications are like this, even if Xiao Cui is only twenty-four years old now, no matter who he looks at, he is a junior.

This time, except for Cui Xian, who was appointed as the marking officer with him, according to his generation, he was originally Cui Jishu's old nephew.

There were a total of four people in the first batch of marking tubes, consisting of Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, Cui Ang, and Wang Shiliang, who had left the Gaocheng shogunate.

After the next court, the four of them were already brought to a wing room in Zhongshu Province by the guards waiting outside the palace, and a total of 4,000 answer sheets were divided among them, and they were required to choose 125 answer sheets from each of them within two days, a total of 500 answers.

The task is very arduous, but for Cui Jishu, a thousand answer sheets are just sprinkled with water.

In that year, 40,000 or 50,000 lowly officials were recruited, and the examination papers to be reviewed before and after were even more innumerable.

Cui Jishu remembered that the number of people who took the exam that year was so large that he could only move to the camp outside the city to take the exam.

Gao Cheng fully trusted his group of henchmen, even if the wing room for marking the papers was not a few steps away from him, he didn't ask them about the situation of the papers.

When Cui Jishu and others were left in the Zhongshu Province to read the papers and isolate the news, whether it was Zhang Shiqi, Feng Zihua and others who had missed the omissions, or Gao Longzhi, Sima Ziru, and Sun Teng, Gao Cheng did not restrict their freedom.

But even people like Sima Ziru and Sun Teng who have corrupt deeds are at home, closed doors, and cut off contact with people.

They knew that Gao Cheng attached great importance to this imperial examination, and they didn't dare to make money on it, with the temperament of King Xiaogao, who knew that he didn't care about himself and others on the surface, and secretly had spies from the Wangsi to monitor him.

This is really not wrong, Gao Cheng is loose and tight, and he wants to see who doesn't take his attitude seriously.

Two days later, when Cui Xian walked out of Zhongshu Province with a tired look, did not have time to return to his house to rest, and was taken to the Ministry of Officials, Gao Cheng handed over all the officials of more than ten prefectures in Henan who had been dismissed to Cui Xian for placement.

Xiao Gaowang, the secretary of the ministry, highlights a hand-shaking shopkeeper, and only when he inserts a confidant in a critical position will he remember that he is the chief official of the ministry.

With Cui Jishu and others regaining their freedom, Zhang Shiqi, Feng Zihua and other staff members of the General's Mansion were also summoned to Zhongshu Province and closed in the wings.

Just when Gao Cheng was waiting for the results of the leakage, he was reviewing the affairs of the DPRK and China during the southern tour in Zhongshu Province.

'Boom! Boom! Knock'

A rush of drums came in.

Gao Cheng stared at the door, the last time the drum was beaten, it was Cui Niang who thought she had robbed the Feng family, why today?

There was no need for Gao Cheng to send someone out to check what was going on, and soon, a scribe hurriedly ran in.

"Who's drumming?"

When the scribe heard Gao Cheng's inquiry, he immediately replied:

"General Qiyu, the person who came is from Jianzhou, and he sued Zheng Boyou, the assassin of Jianzhou."

Hearing this, Gao Cheng asked:

"What is it to accuse him? Corruption? ”

"Corruption is just one of the sins."

The scribe did not hesitate for a moment, no matter how big the Xingyang Zheng family was, it could be bigger than the little Gao Wang, and he replied truthfully:

"The people who came claimed that Zheng Boyou, the assassin of Jianzhou, and his wife, Princess Luyang, wantonly framed the people in the state for the crime of rebellion, and the man was killed without charge, and the woman was used as official slaves, so as to embezzle the people's property."

Gao Cheng's face turned red when he heard this, he raised his hand, pointed at the scribe, gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"Go and bring me the bitter master!"

The scribe didn't dare to delay, but he didn't bring back one or two people. Gao Cheng swept roughly, and there were twenty or thirty people.

The people who fled from Jianzhou were old and young, mostly women, dusty and dusty, and everyone had vegetables.

In order to guard against the assassins, the guards on both sides of the lobby all carried steel knives in their hands, and they were ready to fight, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Great General? But the general in person? ”

In the midst of the fearful crowd, a woman asked boldly.

Gao Cheng waved his hand and the guards relaxed, and said to the woman:

"I am Gao Cheng, you can tell me your grievances, if the matter is true, I will make decisions for you."

Hearing Gao Cheng say this, the bitter masters were like exploding the pot, and they cried to Gao Cheng.

Noisy and shouting, Gao Cheng couldn't hear it clearly at all, so he could only shout loudly:

"Everyone, be quiet, come one by one!"

Only then did everyone quiet down, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, it was the previous woman who first stated her grievances to Gao Cheng.

One by one, when the people talked about their resentment, they wept so much that their hearts and intestines were broken.

The more Gao Cheng listened, the more ugly his face became, and finally his indignation turned into an angry shout:

"Wei Xingqing!"

"The last general!"

Wei Xingqing responded.

Gao Cheng said sharply:

"I order you to lead your cronies to ride 500 horses from Gaodu City (Jincheng, Shanxi) to arrest Zheng Boyou and his wife into Luo!"

"The last general obeys!"

Wei Xingqing took the order and retreated.

Gao Cheng did not give up, he continued to command:

"Xue Hu'er!"

"Humble duty!"

"Quickly summon Sizhou Muke Zhu Hunyuan."

"Whoa!"

After Gao Cheng made arrangements, he took a long breath and tried to appease the people who had fled with a pleasant face, but the anger in his heart could not be calmed at all.

"Su Xi Shele!"

"Humble duty!"

"You will take the bitter lord to be settled, and you must be taken care of by others."

The hall was full of gratitude and kowtows, Gao Cheng saw them being taken away by Su Xi Shele, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore, pulled out the sword at his waist, and with a loud shout, he cut the long case into two sections.

But when Zhu Hunyuan came to the lobby of Zhongshu Province, it was already full of messes.

Gao Cheng did not say more greetings to Ke Zhu Hunyuan, and told all the things about the establishment of the state, and said bluntly:

"But Zhu Hungong, this case must be widely implicated, I want you to lead 3,000 troops to cross the river and control Jianzhou for me, if it is verified to be true, but no one can be let go of anyone involved!"

But Zhu Hunyuan can understand Gao Cheng's anger, although Jianzhou is in Shanxi, not far from Luoyang, almost someone is evil under his nose.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Gao Cheng, who has always emphasized that it is not allowed to hurt and abuse the people.

Only then did he leave Zhongshu Province, but Zhu Hunyuan immediately summoned 3,000 troops from the Ququ family to leave Luoyang, and he did not dare to delay for a moment.

Gao Cheng never thought that such a vicious incident could happen during the few months of his southern tour.

Wei Jing recruited people to hunt and killed more than 300 people, but it was not out of subjective will, it was completely different from Zheng Boyou and his wife, Gao Cheng is now eager to immediately open the chests of Zheng and his wife to see what color their hearts are.

There is also a night in the evening, saving manuscripts in the past few days, recommended on the 25th, and when the time comes, they will be sent together, and there will be a wave of explosions.
